Yesterday I had my first math specialist investigation for the year and I thought my performance was horrific. Firstly, there were 4 graphs I had to draw of similar looking equations but when I drew them, 3 were spirals and 1 was a STAR?
Today I got my test back and I got 50/57 which is around 88%. I'm so happy!

I haven't disappeared completely off the blogosphere but if my life is going to be this stressful and tiring, I definitely will need to go on a long hiatus. Two weeks of school have past and homework is piling up day by day, especially for maths specialist. I am fine with the subjects I am taking at the moment, however two of my friends have already pulled out of their classes - one physics, and one specialist. I hope I can handle with the stress this year because I don't want to keep wasting time like I still am. Sadly, even though I am eating yoghurt everyday, suddenly I am constipated again. When is this going to stop? I seriously don't know what to do now but I guess to make things better I shall go for a short indoor bike ride after I am done here.
On the bright side of life, I got 21/22 for my practice maths test on counting techniques. I wonder where the other 1 mark went? I will be getting the actual test results back on Monday. Oh gosh, I am such a boring person to listen to. I am seriously thinking of changing friendship groups because I find that I barely "know" anyone super duper well in my group. I might do that, but after my year 12 ball first - something similar to "prom" in America I guess. Everything is so expensive - got to find a dress, shoes, the ball ticket, limo hire and so on. I actually spent all my money I earnt from last year ($120) on the limo hire. I think it is a hummer? Oh well, motivation for me to work harder and earn more this year.
Anyway I feel like reading my sister's new blog post and finishing up my chemistry homework. Farewell until next time!
PS: I realised that now I have more pageviews that my sister! *evil laugh*

Am I Boring?
Man, seeing the total pageviews I got for today makes me want to slam my head on the keyboard. Only one measly view from the United States! I guess I need to face the fact that my useless ramblings are completely and utterly boring till people's eyes drop out. Reading my blog must be more torturous than listening to my physics teacher or some official person like Julia Gillard talk about politics. Bah, I always hated politics and anything to do with it when I studied the subject in my early high school years. Thank goodness it's over now...all I learnt from three years is that the seats in the senate are green (is that even right?). I don't know why but I tend to remember the most unimportant facts e.g. The fact that Penny Wong is lesbian is the only thing I know about her, rather than her role in politics.
Enough of this useless crap! Today my mother told me my attitude is extremely grumpy. Well guess what? She's right, I am super grumpy today and I have no idea why. Easier to blame it on PMS I suppose. First I complained about people's expectations of me in my physics class. I am not a walking talking answer machine! I know as much as you do! I don't get it either okay, so let me listen to the teacher! I hate it when people assume I know everything already because I don't. Sigh, I don't even have a private tutor to ask because my mother thinks I'll be fine this year without one except for maths specialist.
Later on in the day, I was angry due to my sudden attack by mosquitoes. I have 7 in total: 4 on my face (1 on each eye, nose and cheek), one on my finger and one on either arm. Is it because I ate bananas this week? I read that on a "odd spot" on a libra pad LOL. Due to the bite being on my eye, it isn't safe to put ointment so I left my face swollen for the whole day which is driving me to the brink of blowing my head off!
I was also madly rambling like an idiot to my mother around an hour ago about my old friend who I really have nothing to do with anymore. This friend is kind of like my mother's friend's daughter who goes to the same school as me. During my first year of high school, she introduced me to her group of friends who I still currently hang out with. It's changed a lot since then - in fact, I am the only original member remaining after the 4 years of high school that have past so far. Should I be proud? I don't know...I'm not exactly close to some of them because we have conflicting interests. Anyway, I am rambling! Back to the story, this friend of mine left the group around a year ago because she was so quiet and never talked so I reckon she didn't fit in. Nowadays, she is hanging out with the "loser" group which is so bad because she really is a nice girl. Her new friend is this Thai girl who is actually 18 years old which I can't believe since she acts as if she's five, and I thought I was immature! She is so weird for example, last year in physics she used to converse with my teacher about the weekend. Erm...okay? She's still in my physics class, weird as ever. There's also this guy who puts me off and he's super obese! I'm not a judgmental bitch or anything because it's not really his obesity that ticks me off. That's just one of the factors.
To make things easier, I will compile a list:
As you can see, I am very angry indeed. On the positive side however, today in my human biology class we measured our heart rates before drinking strong coffee for an experiment. Strangely, my heart rate is 60 beats per second which is the lowest in the class! The teacher was like, are you fit? LOL. I do exercise for health but calling myself fit? My stamina is pretty embarrassing compared to my grandma who is 70 something-ish and climbs up steep jungle terrain hills in Malaysia. I hope when I'm that old I'll be as cool as her LOL.
Something else that makes me angry - how do I improve my English score? Apparently, some girl got 100% for her english literature exam last year. How ah? Please do tell me your secret, I'm dying to know. By the way guys, compare this post with my first few posts a couple of months ago. Big difference in the quality of writing aye, what is the matter with me? Sigh.
I've been using "LOL" a lot in this post but it's not fake laughing because I truly find all this stuff pretty amusing.
Signing off, angry me.

To make things easier, I will compile a list:
- he stinks
- he's fat
- he spits when talking to you (similar to a camel!)
- he has to come right up close to your face when talking
- he has an obnoxiously loud voice
- he likes to talk for a long time
So yeah, everyone kind of avoids this guy. Sometimes I feel bad for him that he basically has no friends. Forever alone LOL. I am so angry because why is my old friend associating herself with these weird people? I would never stoop myself that low in the high school popularity hierarchy...and I'm not really that concerned with making heaps of friends! Okay I know this is hell bitchy and judgemental but I don't say this stuff aloud. People think I'm the nice, smart, cute chick who is happy all the time. Well, you're WRONG...I am angry bird! Doing well in school does not determine intelligence. No, it means I am just a parrot who remembers stuff. And I am not nice all the time. I can be mean...very mean if I want to, but luckily I don't like to most of the time. Only one of my friends realises that I'm not as happy as I seem. Too bad she's in none of my classes this year *cries*.

Today was my second day of school and I had two new classes which were literature and physics. So far, I think I like both of them. My literature teacher has a very soothing, calm voice and he cracks some funny jokes now and again too. Ironically, he was talking about Ireland (due to our Seamus Heaney study) and his accent seems to be Irish! If it's not Irish, it must definitely be some sort of European accent I guess. My physics teacher didn't exactly teach us much today as he was just going through the course outline and syllabus while quickly covering the basic motion formulas in the last couple of minutes. I tried reading the first chapter and I'm already confused! Pray to God I'll do well in physics this year like last year (or get a higher score, even better).
I also had my first piano lesson for the year and my teacher said I can go for my grade seven exam on the next school holidays. Great! I can finally get this over and done with. She also commented that I lost weight which is very true but I didn't realise that it was noticeable. Nobody at school knows that over the holidays I've lost 4-5 kilograms and they didn't see it either! Perhaps either my piano teacher is super observant or my school friends are kind of blind. I have no idea.
Also, my friend went to Korea for her holiday and got me these cute souvenirs. Thank you so much!

First day of school
So today was my first day of school of my LAST year of schooling. Then I'll be off to university which sounds completely awesome compared to high school. I'm not that happy about my classes but I guess it could have been worse. Having crappy classes is no excuse to flop this year anyway...must work harder!
In a nutshell, here are my honest opinions regarding my classes:
Chemistry: Bad, I have the same lazy teacher from last year. She's not stupid, just too lazy to share her knowledge to the whole class.
Maths: Good! I can actually understand what she is saying unlike my teacher from last year who had a heavy Indian accent.
Maths Specialist: Bah, I'm not sure what to say here. I guess being strict and all he's a good teacher but his monotonous voice puts me to sleep.
Human Biology: Seems like a cool teacher with some crude jokes but apparently my friend says he can't teach. Meh, human biology is just memorising so there isn't much to teach anyway.
I can't comment on physics and literature because I haven't had those two subjects yet, perhaps I shall talk about those tomorrow. Also a strange thing happened this morning. I put my normal school shorts on and then, they fell off! I had to wear a belt for the entire day which is so inconvenient when I need to go to the toilet. Did I really lose that much belly fat? The only difference in my diet is that I stopped eating chocolate (due to my constipation problem) and began eating cheese instead.
MYTH: Cheese is fattening!
TRUTH: I don't know why, but I eat cheese everyday now and seems like I've lost a lot of weight! I wear a pant size 26 now if that helps.
Theres some stuff I need to do now so bye for now.
